Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 597: Chapter 406: Final Battle, Dawn Breaks! (Double Chapter)

”This...” Su Fengye was momentarily speechless.

Just now, he was solely concerned about Su Qingqing’s safety, completely disregarding everything else.

Only after hearing Song Changming’s words did he realize that it was indeed a problem.

Turning his head abruptly, he looked toward the Core District, within the large Su Mansion, where many clan members were watching here.

Among them were many elders with considerable standing in the clan, as well as a charming figure.

His second wife also looked at him with a worried expression.

Seeing this, Su Fengye started to feel a headache.

”You’re right, Brother Song...”

Seeing that Su Fengye realized this point, Song Changming said nothing more.

He hoped Su Fengye could truly handle the troubles he caused.

Of course, these were all matters to be considered later; for now, the defense battle was still ongoing.

However, Prince Cui had previously defeated the three Great Demons and took away that Fire Dragon King, somewhat alleviating the urgent situation of the main city.

At least Qian Yuan didn’t have as much pressure to maintain the Protective Array.

Song Changming pinched his right hand; in this brief moment, his hand injury had recovered significantly, with normal exertion now not much of a problem.

Immediately, he went out of the city again to sweep through the Demon Race.

During the process, he also tried to find the whereabouts of the three Great Demons previously overturned by Prince Cui.

The Lizard Dragon’s son was already in unknown life or death, while the Giant Python Great Demon and Azure Bird Great Demon were also heavily injured; with luck, perhaps he could seize some Great Demon flesh and even the valuable Great Demon Heart Core.

Unfortunately, it was unclear whether the three Great Demons escaped quickly or were snatched up by others or demons.

He searched the area but couldn’t find any trace of the three Great Demons; even the remaining bloodstains had been licked clean by other Little Demons.

Helplessly, he could only regretfully give up.

Such is the reality; not all benefits under the heavens can belong solely to one person.

Luck plays a big part in seizing opportunities, followed by keenness and swiftness.

The battle continued.

Even Song Changming did not expect the battle outside the main city to last for three days and nights!

In the end, outside the city, there was nothing but a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood to describe.

Especially the demon corpses, stretching for hundreds of miles, forming mountains of flesh piled high, the scene was exceedingly bloody and shocking.

Demon blood seeped into the soil, dyeing the ground crimson.

Any ordinary person witnessing such a scene would likely faint on the spot.

Fortunately, the City Defense Array was still intact, as were the high walls, shielding the millions of residents inside the giant city from the purgatory outside.

Three days later, at noon, as if a miracle arrived, there was a disturbance in the Black Obsidian suspended high above!

The Demon Race’s side first sensed the change, with the remaining Demon Swarm and Demon Beast retreating like the tide.

Even those Great Demons ceased their fierce assault at that moment on the third day.

They watched fiercely at the Human Race Grandmaster in front, and behind them at the indomitable Human Race Main City, some showing regret, some sneering.

”Such a pity, the attack failed, Human Race, we’ll see you next time...”

As the words fell, the Great Demons retreated with the Demon Swarm one after another.

On a mountain of flesh tens of meters high, Song Changming sat covered in blood, panting heavily as he watched the retreating Demon Swarm.

Changshou Saber was planted beside his right hand, its blade also soaked in mottled blood.

Streams of blood essence from the Demon Race seeped from beneath him, flowing into Song Changming’s body, restoring, nourishing... 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Suddenly, Song Changming felt something and looked up at the sky, gazing at the Black Obsidian.

”The energy field has changed...” Song Changming muttered, gradually moved.

Soon, as if confirming his perception, the Black Obsidian that had persisted for more than half a year showed signs of fading.

As the first ray of bright sunlight reappeared on the earth, everyone halted their actions, simply watching the sky in a daze.

Black Obsidian faded quickly; as darkness weakened, the light on earth grew stronger.

The sunlight on Song Changming’s body brought him a sense of relief; he closed his eyes instinctively to savor this hard-won warmth.

Light swirled around him, no longer dissipating.

When the Black Obsidian completely disappeared, and the sunlight fully radiated, illuminating the earth, a fervent cheer erupted from the main city behind Song Changming.

Many cried for joy, many howled towards the sky.

The fear and pressure accumulated over more than half a year were finally released at this moment.

Even on the battlefield, many surviving soldiers were emotionally moved, their hands trembling.

They had waited for this day for too long.

”What a difficult period it has been.”

Song Changming slowly stood up, seeing the returning Prince Cui, Hu Tomb, and a group of Grandmaster powerhouses from various noble families.

Instead of showing much joy, they bore solemn expressions and swiftly flew into their mansions within the Core District, disappearing without a trace.

”It’s over, Changming...” Yang Zhen landed beside Song Changming, smiling.

”Indeed, it’s over.” Song Changming nodded.

The dark omen of Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun ended abruptly, without warning, just as suddenly as it began half a year ago.

”Let’s go, there are still many matters to handle.” Yang Zhen said.

Song Changming nodded and flew away.

Though the Demon Race has fully retreated, they still couldn’t confirm whether the opposition had any hidden schemes, thus it was not time to lower their guard.

Furthermore, clearing the battlefield and reorganizing the army required them, the generals, to lead the arrangements.

Above the city, Prince Cui stood in mid-air, embracing the sunlight, gazing far into the distance, watching the remaining Demon Race withdraw from the city boundary, disappearing without a trace.

Now the battle is over, the outcome of his confrontation with the Black Rock Fire Dragon Demon remains unknown.

”Arrange the army to conduct a comprehensive search to ascertain the Demon Race’s situation.” Prince Cui instructed.

”Alright.” Hu Tomb behind nodded in agreement.

Even if Prince Cui hadn’t mentioned it, he would have done so.

With the sudden end of the ominous event, whether the Demon Race temporarily abandoned their assault on the main city or retreated from Cui Bai Dao entirely was undoubtedly a critical concern.

Moreover, whether it’s just the Demon Race of Cui Bai Dao temporarily withdrawing or the invasion across the Human Race’s Three States Land quieting down is also a focal point.

At the military camp, Wang Tianshuang gathered the entire 41st Army.

Song Changming also saw Xing Tiexin trudging along.

After this three-day-and-night arduous battle, Xing Tiexin had indeed exhausted everything on the battlefield, burning himself out.

The long spear in his hand had killed no fewer than a thousand Demon Race entities, including quite a few powerful Demon Generals.

Therefore, Xing Tiexin was covered in wounds, each one a testament to his bravery and achievements!

In fact, it wasn’t just him who was severely injured; probably only Song Changming, with his robust body and exceptional self-healing ability, still looked vigorous, with reserves of energy and no injuries.

Seeing Song Changming looking his way, Xing Tiexin relaxedly grinned.

”Don’t worry, I won’t die.”

Song Changming nodded, merely advising, ”Take good care of your injuries; don’t damage your Martial Tao roots.”

Xing Tiexin nodded in agreement, looking at his severely worn long spear, he stroked it twice and said, working hard.

Thanks to the high quality of his long spear, otherwise, it wouldn’t have endured throughout this three-day-and-night arduous battle.

Song Changming glanced around at the army and silently sighed.

Originally, the full roster of twelve thousand soldiers; after this battle, the formation was much sparser.

Numerous positions once occupied by soldiers turned into vacancies; Song Changming roughly estimated that the number of remaining soldiers probably did not exceed five thousand.

Considering those bedridden with severe injuries, even that would not surpass six thousand.

It showed how brutal this battle was, with the number of fallen soldiers in the entire military department stacking up to a rather frightening figure.

The main city was preserved in this wave, yet the Military Department was truly severely weakened; recovery would take no less than ten years.

”Luckily, the days under the Black Obsidian’s shadow are over...” Song Changming mused.
